And music there was.

The thick folders were all on the main banquet hall table, except for the top ten percent. They floated, the heavy folders dancing in the air with boisterous trumpet sounds. Midterm exams would materialize directly in your room: but the Academy wanted everyone to see who were the top students in the first weeks.

Naya watched with envy as Leah Brotenlin catwalked proudly to one of the floating folders, taking it and pausing with her hand around it so everyone could see she was part of the top ten percent of students. Naya stayed on the outside of the banquet hall as student after student grabbed folders from the pile, trying to keep away from their eyes.

Finally, only a few sad folders remained on the table, except for one particularly annoying thick folder that was trumpeting incessantly above the rest.

These were not the 10%, and the last few students who slunk in all had the same sneaky look on their faces.

Naya was just glad the bottom ten percent didn’t have their folders on the floor.

Naya was just about to grab her folder, when Ryan strode through the hallway, almost jogging to grab the last flying folder and rushing out like he was embarrassed about the result. It was strange. The old Ryan might have lorded it up, standing in front of his floating folder and laughing at the students who couldn’t compete. This time, he was in and out in a second.

Naya swallowed and grabbed one of the last few folders, the one with her name on it.

She walked back to dorms after she grabbed the folder in thick bound paper, not wanting to be near Amy. If she was going to fail, she didn’t want her best friend’s pity—especially when Amy seemed to have a natural gift for every kind of magic under the sun.

Even potions eluded Naya. When she was working on her own, her vial bubbled and fizzed. There was a flash of light, but Elizabeth muttered a spell under her breath in the nick of time, averting an explosion, and patiently but firmly explaining that she used Wormroot when she needed to use Wormwood. The intense schedule left her so tired she could barely think. Even in the simplest of classes her palm was wet with nervous sweat, making notetaking a chore.

Naya never failed a class in her life. She was used to straight A’s. Despite it, she felt at home in Arumrose. The school was so different than the Grounder high school from her old life—especially her new friend group and the cherished connection between her and Amy. She felt free at Arumrose. Sure, she missed her parents and looked at the picture of the three of them at the seashore occasionally, but nothing could change the fact that she felt like herself for the first time in her life.

Screwing up in class could change that. Fast.

Her hands trembled. She couldn’t wait until she got to her room, and she ripped open the envelope, trying to open it neatly and failing.
